Pick up phone modem from the Cox store?

I've been told I have until 23 October to update my phone.  Am I able to pick up the digital phone upgrade equipment from the Cox store and install it myself?

    I received the same letter and yep, it says Oct. 23rd. From what I've read on other posts, you have to schedule a time for a Cox technician to come out and install it. I guess it needs to be professionally installed.

    no tech required, i've gone both ways, adding the trip internet/cable/phone modem years ago.i recently swapped the phone modem for the new panoramic combo modem/router & it's almost twice as fast for both hardwired + wi-fi as when i was providing my own router.

      Hi @bearone2, this is not always the case. Here's some additional information about the process for updating residential phones:
